"Full-time driver being sought for second-term state representative after he was dealt a bad hand by Lady Justice," the listing reads. "Frequent, one hour and 41 minute commute to and from Saugatuck and Lansing with a fun up-and-comer who loves an occasional drink (or two).

"Court fees are high so unfortunately minimum wage, but will make it up with admission to all of Lansing's finest establishments."

The listing says preference will be given to college students, taking a shot at Genetski's record while leading the House Subcommittee on Higher Education.

"Job will provide extra $$$ to make up for tuition increases the legislator voted for last year as chair of the Higher Education committee," the listing reads.

The listing says applicants must have a valid driver's license, no expired license plate tags, ability to stay within the speed limit and "ABSOLUTELY no drinking and driving (been there, done that)."

"It's not something totally unexpected because we're talking about politics and sometimes people let their passionate side get the better of them," he said.

"Drunk driving is serious. It's serious for victims and for people charged with the crime, whether they're guilty or innocent, and some times
there's a very fine line between the two with the way the law is
written."

But Mitchell Rivard, communications specialist for Progress Michigan, said his organization takes the situation seriously.

"We think it's unfortunate how Rep. Genetski behaved following the State of the State address," he said. "This is a very serious matter, but hopefully this is something where Rep. Genetski can hire a driver. That's something he hasn't done now in the past three years in the House -- being a job creator."

Genetski said he was coming from the Capitol, where he had had two beers, and was on his way to his East Lansing hotel.

He failed a field sobriety, according to police, then refused a road-side breath test. Police say Genetski later refused a Breathalyzer test at the Michigan State University Police Department.

Refusing a Breathalyzer is a violation of Michigan's implied consent law and punishable by a one-year driver's license suspension and six points on a driver's record.

Craigslist prohibits posting "false or fraudulent content" on its website, according to its terms of use. When asked if Progress Michigan considered that before posting the job listing, Rivard said his organization is interested in ensuring the legislator fulfills his responsibilities.

"Rep. Genetski is a public servant, and that's a very public role," Rivard said. "We want to make sure that Genetski first and foremost can do his duties, and to do that he's going to need some transportation and we figured we'd proactively help him out.

"He's going to be needing a ride to Lansing to vote for the Republicans' anti-union agenda for the next year."

A spokesperson for the Republican Party declined to comment.

The civil action related to Genetski's license is separate from his
criminal case. Genetski has been charged with misdemeanor drunken
driving, his first offense. It is punishable by up to 93 days in jail,
though jail time is unusual for first offenders.

It also is punishable by up to 360 hours of community service and a maximum $500 fine. A pretrial conference is pending.

Prosecutors won't release the result of Genetski's court-ordered blood draw, but did say his blood alcohol level was at least .08, the point at which one is considered legally intoxicated.
